We're back! A and I took a small weekend vacation up in Mendocino and Fort Bragg just for a bit of relaxation. It's a long drive, but it's worth it and quite fun. It just so happens that we were up there the same exact weekend as last year, as once again we ran into Fort Bragg's classic cars show. We checked that out, and also visited the botanical gardens up there. Thankfully the weather stayed in the upper 60s and low 70s this time out!
Somehow in between all that driving and mini-vacationing, I managed to update today's Bridgetown blog, but more importantly I managed to do a good read-through of about half of In My Blue World. (I'd saved most of it to doc files, and I signed onto 750 to read more of it.) I'm glad to say that it's solid for the most part, and that most of what needs fixing can be done quickly and easily. A few characters that need straightening out, a few weak points that need strengthening, a few plot points that need tightening. All is on schedule so far, so if I can get this book done by the end of the month, that will give me the entirety of July to work on the revision and post-production work.
I didn't get to read what I have of the Apartment Complex story yet, but I think it's too early for that, given that I only restarted it a short time ago. I'm going to do the same here, just keep plugging away at it until I'm nearly done and then give it a good once-over.
*Looks at calendar* Huh. Unless I forgot to add something, I don't have outside events until next Thursday when I have to go in to Concord for work. Yay! [Well, I was supposed to go in for some training thing as well, but they keep cancelling and rescheduling it. So no idea when I'm supposed to go in for that at this time.] No big plans this week other than grocery shopping today because our cupboards are embarrassingly bare.
Hope everyone has a good week! :)
